When my sister was little she somehow got confused about the old adage that eating carrots made your eyesite better - she thought it made her eyes "shiny". We just went along with it since she was very eager to finish her carrots if it was going to do that. For awhile she would always end a meal asking one of us if her eyes looked shiny.
